The Law Sch( versity, was es P hed in September, 1906, to provide profejraronal training for ambitious young men yra women of moderate means. In 1914 the schoeff was chartered with degree- granting powers by the Legislature of Massa- chusetts. Educational facilities have been expanded in the belief that training in the liberal arts and sciences is an integral part of a balanced educa- tion. The College of Liberal Arts was founded in 1934, the Graduate School of Law in 1935, the College of Journalism in 1936, and the Col- lege of Business Administration in 1937. The various departments were incorporated by the Massachusetts Legislature in 1937. Physical growth of the University was ac- companied by professional recognition: Suffolk is a member of the New England Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools and of the Association of American Colleges. The College Departments are approved by the Board of Col- legiate Authority, Department of Education, Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Law School is approved by the American Bar As- sociation. The Veterans Administration ap- proves all courses for GI benefits. Located on Beacon Hill, directly behind the State House, near the building housing the Supreme Judical, Superior, Probate, Land and Municipal Courts, Suffolk University provides excellent accomodations for educational work. In the University building are the Administra- tive offices, University Library, classrooms, completely equipped and modern laboratories for biology, chemistry, geology and physics, University Auditorium, Bookstore, and student lounges. .1 Mi -M- ' 1 1 H ' ' '

ADMINISTRATION When we look back to our days at Suffolk University, we will never forget the faculty members. We will feel proud that we knew them not only as learned persons, but also as our friends, unlike students in many other universities, where a student-instructor re- lationship is practically unknown. SENIORS The Senior Class has come a long way during these past four years, from our fresh- men days, when we were struggling to keep our wits about us, to this our senior year, when we realize that all of our trials and tribulations, though many, were not in vain. We accomplished much, but we suffered much. We were praised, but we were mis- understood. We laughed, but we cried. But we matured. ACTIVITIES Suffolk has a well-formulated undergrad- uate program of activities designed to de- velop and encourage personal qualities of leadership, iniative, cooperation, and sports- manship. However, as the University feels that studies come first, and rightly so, it has made one prerequisite for active participa- tion — the maintenance of a satisfactory scholastic standard. SPORTS As Suffolk has advanced in learning, so it has also in providing recreational activities for its students. It now has teams represen- tative in Baseball, Basketball, Golf, and Tennis, which provide the students with recreation and entertainment in their off- study time. Contained Mifflin ftdese Pages.... 4
